Only Batman and his Insurgency, a group of rebels comprised mainly of reformed supervillains, dare to stand against this new Regime in the hopes of freeing Earth from the rule of the Man of Steel.The game properly begins five years later, in our universe, where a huge force of supervillains are waging an attack against the Justice League. Superman rules with an iron fist, using his massive army to keep the planet in line, and to prevent crime no matter what the cost.
The Regime then sets out to kill every metahuman, hero or villain, who stands in their way, with many heroes and villains choosing to join the Regime out of fear or misplaced respect. Despite Batman's efforts to calm him down, an enraged Superman murdered the Joker with his bare hands, and subsequently took it upon himself to forcibly subdue all the governments of the world, unifying them into his One Earth Regime, believing that the only way to protect mankind from themselves was to control them utterly. Additionally, Joker had attuned a nuclear bomb to Lois' pulse, and when she died, the WMD detonated, destroying the city of Metropolis. In an alternate universe, the Joker tricks Superman into murdering his wife Lois Lane (and their unborn son) because he perceived her as Doomsday thanks to a dose of Scarecrow's fear toxin. The game will, however, feature a certain amount of blood as well as physical changes to characters to show damage.Īt EVO 2012, when a brief demo was shown explaining the classes of characters and some background-based mechanics, there appeared to be twenty four slots on the character select screen and fifteen slots on the arena select screen. The game is expected to receive a T rating and will not feature Fatalities, but instead, elaborate and over-the-top super moves such as punching an opponent into space, with the in-universe explanation that the less superhuman characters are surviving their injuries thanks to a medicine that allows human characters like Batman and Green Arrow to go toe-to-toe with metahuman characters like Black Adam and Solomon Grundy. For Superman it burns a bit of meter to enhance damage for a set period of time.Īdditionally, stage transitions return from Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, allowing players to move throughout various parts of each arena over the course of the fight. For Wonder Woman, it performs a stance change between sword/shield and lasso. There are three main attack buttons (light, medium, strong) and one "gimmick" button that performs character-specific tasks. A character with super strength like Solomon Grundy may pick up a car and smash an opponent with it, but someone like Batman would be unable to do so, and would instead smash his opponent's face into the hood of the car. However, different characters use the same environmental objects in different ways. This feature allows for the characters to perform maneuvers involving objects within the stage. Though running on Unreal Engine 3, like Mortal Kombat, Injustice features a different control scheme including holding back to block rather than a block button as well as a dedicated button for interacting with the environments. While most of the heroes, and some villains, have joined Superman's cause, others have formed a resistance known as the Insurgency, led by that universe's Batman. In a plot involving parallel dimensions and shifting alliances, the game's storyline has various heroes and villains mysteriously transported into a near-future alternate universe where Superman has gone mad with power, establishing a new fascist regime known as One Earth, years after killing The Joker in cold blood, who previously destroyed Metropolis, along with Superman's love interest Lois Lane, in a nuclear blast. It is the second fighting game made by the team behind the Mortal Kombat franchise to feature characters from the DC Universe, the first being Mortal Kombat vs. Injustice is based on the DC Universe and features both heroes and villains from various DC Comics franchises, most notably Batman and Superman. Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, an updated version of the game which includes all available downloadable content, was released in November 2013 for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 as well as all previous platforms. Injustice: Gods Among Us is a 2.5D fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by WB Games for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U on April 16th, 2013.
